 Henry Sweet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Sweet (1845-1912) was a philologist, and is sometimes also considered to be an early linguist.
Sweet also published on larger issues of phonetics and grammar in language, but his work on the Germanic languages is more widely remembered.
Wrenn found George Bernard Shaw's character "Henry Higgins" in Pygmalion to be a largely accurate portrayal of Sweet.

 HENRY SWEET AND AMERICAN STRUCTURALISM
Sweet recognized the importance of the spoken language and of the study of phonetics, pointing out the role that stress and intonation have in carrying many differences in meaning.
Sweet's interest in the spoken language is reflected in his grammar in the several sections which he devotes to stress and intonation of words, word groups and sentences.
Sweet starts by studying what he calls words and structuralists stems, and then he proceeds with the analysis of derivational suffixes and prefixes, to finish with inflections.

 Paradigm, No. 20 (July, 1996)
In other words, Sweet’s primer had a dual purpose: as well as being a course-book of spoken English for the language learner or school pupil, it was also a work of scientific research for the use of the student or scholar, a socio-linguistic and phonetic record of a specific variety of modern (late-19th) spoken English.
Sweet himself regarded the ‘secret of the success’ of his primers as the fact that they were ‘elementary’ (and therefore adaptable to beginners with supplementing by the teacher), ‘condensed’, and ‘complete in themselves,’ with rigorously phonetic texts linked closely to the corresponding grammar and glossary (Sweet to Storm, 16 December 1886).
Sweet became a regular contributor to this journal, and its progressive and didactic aims are clearly in tune with the aspirations expressed in the prefaces to his language primers.

Henry Sweet (1845 -1910) was the greatest authority on historical phonetics of his day.
Sweet's ideas live on in the orthographies of present day spelling reformers but their source is now forgotten.

 The Sweet Trials: Key Figures
Henry is a gentle soul, kindly, and courteous, full of the bright, high hopes of youth, and miraculously unembittered by the cruel ordeal through which he has been and is being put.
Otis Sweet graduated from his dental course, he had to work a year, in the Wabash Railroad, as a waiter, to earn enough to equip his office, but Dr. Sweet was always there, as it were, in the background.
